I'm stuck between these two, I want a carry/ HD, all around gun, I have been carrying for 45 yrs and shooting longer.
I just can't decide between the two. The only thing pointing me to the Kimber is the fact that I can get it in Stainless. Living in FL, that is a plus.
All my other guns are black or Blued, except for a few slides. I shoot 45 as well as 9mm, and believe a 1911 should be in 45 only, perhaps 10mm also, but not 9mm, can't help it, it's the mindset I was raised with.
I am trying to stay at or under a thousand dollars. I also looked at the Ruger Lightweight Commander, "the new one with titanium feed ramp, but keep coming back to the TLE, or RO Champion with or without the rail. Opinions from other longtime 1911 guys would be appreciated. Like to stay on those two guns if possible, as I am familiar with most of what is out there, including the R1's etc.
